Chom Phon Subdistrict

Few neighbourhoods in Bangkok have a history as closely tied to the city’s late-20th-century expansion along Phahonyothin Road as Chom Phon Subdistrict. Set on the flat Chao Phraya plain, it is a dense northern urban area shaped by major roads, rail links and commercial development. Near the Ratchayothin intersection, the 32-storey Elephant Building, completed in 1997 to a design by architect Sumet Jumsai, gives the skyline one of Bangkok’s most recognisable architectural forms. Offices, residences and shopping centres underline the area’s role beyond the historic core.
